Is it true that Whiplash injury damages the cervical spine, including its discs and facet joints?
Unclear. Several sources partially support the claim: biomechanical reviews document facet joint capsule lesions and disc lesions in whiplash-associated disorders, and a simulation reports facet capsule strain, while other items more generally describe whiplash as damaging cervical soft tissues. No single retrieved item covers both the disc and facet joint components at the strength the claim asserts.
